APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ)

Please note that this certification has recently been re-named APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ) by the accreditation body (APM). It was formerly known as the APMP: The APM Project Management Qualification. It is a simple rebrand and the assessment criteria, learning outcomes and training models remain unchanged.

The APM Project Management Qualificationtraining course follows the syllabus set by the Association for Project Management (APM), and includes the APM Project Management Qualification exam.

APMP is adopted as standard training for project professionals in leading organisations such as Siemens, Network Rail and BAA.

The APMP:

Demonstrates knowledge of all key elements of project management

Demonstrates that you are a skilled and committed project professional

Attendees will take part in a series of intensive coaching sessions addressing all the main topics covered by the APMP syllabus in a structured and consistent way. The sessions will include presentations, exercises and sample examination papers.

The course is designed to improve the skills of project management staff to enable them to make sound business decisions and thereby manage their projects to a successful conclusion.

The course builds on existing knowledge and experience and attendees will learn how to better plan, control and monitor their projects including risk and financial analysis together with reporting on progress. Interpersonal skills such as negotiation techniques and managing stakeholders are also covered.

The APM Project Management Qualification (PMQ) training course is designed for those with project management experience (2-5 years ideally), including:

People involved in project teams

Senior Project Managers and Project Managers

P

There is also a Pass Guarantee for added peace of mind, should you fail to pass at the first attempt. This includes the re-attendance of the 2 day exam preparation workshop and exam retakes free of charge!

Note:If you already hold the PRINCE2 Practitioner qualification, you can take the shorter APMP for PRINCE2 Practititioners training course. This 3-day course leads to a 2 hour exam where candidates must answer 6 from 10 questions covering 25 topics.
